The Congress should have ordspråk
 [Said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California,] Mr. Rumsfeld has been engaged in a coverup from the start on this issue and continues to be so. ... If the president doesn't fire the secretary, if he doesn't resign, I think it's the responsibility of this Congress to file articles of impeachment and force him to leave office. |
| In 2000, following Barry's murder, the Pentagon announced it would take concrete steps to curb anti-gay harassment in our military and to hold accountable those who harass and condone harassment. Nearly six years later, Pentagon leaders have failed to keep their promise. The time has come for them to do just that, or for Congress to hold them accountable if they do not. |
| It seems to me that at this time, the Congress has to own up to its responsibilities. Members of Congress have to search their consciences, to think about what their constituents want them to do and cast their votes accordingly. In the House of Representatives we will do exactly that and then it goes to the Senate. I am sure the Senate will do that as well. |
| The reason we are in this situation is because we are dependent upon foreign sources of energy. The reason we are in this situation is because there has been years of inaction. This president has called on Congress to act, and that's what Congress needs to do so that we don't continue to go through this issue year after year. |
| Marshall has had the ear of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his top generals, and even anti-Democrat Zell Miller gave him a campaign contribution. ... Marshall has been impressive in his first term in Congress and he should be returned. |
| It is so uncommon for senior military officers in the United States to criticize civilian leaders that it has to make an impression on the White House and Congress. |

| Accountability is essential. So the question for me is, what did Secretary Rumsfeld and others in the Pentagon know, when did they know it and what did they do about it? ... If the answers are unsatisfactory, resignations should be sought. |
| It is true that programs are going to be hunting for dollars. And it is true there are more programs than dollars. But the civilian leaders are doing nothing to bring the budget in line. Even though we are hearing a lot of rhetoric from the office of the Defense secretary, we see they are going along with what the services want. It shows who is running the Pentagon. |
| We hear year after year that this is the year that Congress is going to act. Simply hoping Congress will act is no longer good enough. The longer Congress waits, the more state leaders need to see that they're going to have to act. |
| This raises huge questions about the authorities of States and Tribes to access the best scientific data and manage a regional resource. Congress was clear 26 years ago when it passed the Northwest Power Act laying out the roles and responsibilities of tribes and federal and state fishery agencies. If this stands, it says that any member of Congress, behind closed doors, can undo a decades-long effort with words hidden in a legislative report. |
| [In Baghdad Wednesday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld seconded the desire expressed by Iraqi officials to see Iraqi forces take over more security responsibilities and allow US forces to begin leaving over the coming months. Mr. Rumsfeld said in a press conference that he] confirmed ... we desire speed in that regard. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating.

| At the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that the decision to pay recruits in gasoline, while unorthodox, was a 'slam-dunk solution' to the Army's nagging shortfalls in enlistment. |
| Let the Union Cabinet speak with one voice over the issue and then we will react. There are major differences between Congress leaders and Cabinet ministers over the issue. |
